Before Aldridge came to Turkey, he performed very low-key at the press conference. Even if the outside world believed that this was a "war between excellent coaches," he deliberately avoided all questions that were suspected of fanning the flames.
Since the 1996 European Championship, Turkish football has begun to rise in Europe and has been on an upward trend in recent years. In the past few years, Galatasaray has achieved a series of excellent results in Turkey. Among them, Galatasaray
The coach has attracted the attention of European football: Fatih Terim.
This is a coach who will be favored by giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and AC Milan in the future. He is also a person who was rated as one of the eight best coaches in the world in a survey by an authoritative organization such as IFFHS in more than 80 countries.
He is not a reformer or a savior, but he is called the emperor in Turkey, which may be related to his inviolable character. Anyone who challenges his authority or violates his boundaries will fight back with fury.
Aldridge hates trouble, so in his eyes it is just an ordinary game and he does not want to cause trouble because of his words or body movements during the game.
Terim is not as calm as Aldridge. He is eager to further prove himself. He is assigned to the same group as AC Milan and Millwall. From the outside, Galatasaray is unlucky, but he believes that Galatasaray is unlucky.
An opportunity for Ray to further clear his name in Europe.
He formed a 4312 formation at home today, mainly using short passes from the middle to penetrate and break through.
From the very beginning of the game, Trim frowned. Galatasaray's ground attack was completely unable to hit the center of the field.
Millwall moved from forward to midfield, with Henry and Nedvěd returning to defense. Coupled with the midfield defense line composed of Pirlo and Makelele, the interception success rate was very high. In addition, the opponent did not have wingers, and the two wingers
Defenders Gianluca Zambrotta and Schneider contracted, giving Southgate an environment to display his characteristics of intercepting central defenders.
Aldrich sat calmly and watched the battle.
He has studied Galatasaray, and Villas-Boas joined the club last year. This year, the club's pre-match preparations have become more efficient.
He is not afraid of Galatasaray's tactics that focus on penetrating from the middle. To put it superficially, this tactic is too simple.
The stadium is actually very large. Real top teams can make reasonable use of the length and width of the stadium to achieve a combination of sides and center. They can not only break through from the center, but also use the two wings to launch attacks, expand the offensive surface and points, and single-handedly attack.
Playing in the center or on the wing. Millwall can defend very easily.
Of course, this also depends on the player's personal ability.
Galatasaray's push through the middle was not ideal, but there were no wingers, and the midfielders did not dare to actively pull out for fear of being too far away from the defensive area during counterattacks and losing their position, so they could only add more ball outlets in the middle.
The defensive midfielder line is also prerequisite. In this way, the offense will put more pressure on Millwall, but the risk of being counterattacked will also be greatly increased.
Within the fifteen-minute period from the tenth to the twenty-fifth minute of the game, Galatasaray seemed to have the advantage on the field and played wave after wave of pressing attacks, but they only forced Millwall to
The defensive line retreated and did not create better opportunities in the dangerous area in front of the goal.
In the 27th minute, when Galatasaray made another crazy attack and pressed all the midfielders, Neil successfully stole the ball and passed it to Schneider, who passed a big kick from the right to the vacuum in the frontcourt.
zone.
Nedvěd definitely couldn't grab the ball. He was running forward from the backcourt, but Ronaldinho moved from the wing to the center and stopped the ball at the landing point.
Galatasaray quickly returned to defense, but Ronaldinho was not in a hurry. He controlled the ball steadily, turned around and passed a player who was attacking. After Nedvěd rushed up, he passed the ball diagonally.
, Nedved rushed forward with the ball.
Larsson and Henry crossed paths to confuse the opponent's back line. Nedvěd made a diagonal pass to the ribs of the penalty area. Henry reversed the offside and successfully stopped the ball. After adjusting, he volleyed from a small angle. The ball flew from the goalkeeper's feet into the goal.
"Millwall opened the scoring, Henry scored! A simple but fatal counterattack helped Millwall lead Galatasaray away from home. Terim's team has always had the advantage, but they conceded the goal first and calmly
Hall did not worry about the team being pressured to attack. On the contrary, he might be waiting for Galatasaray to give them an opening to counterattack."
Henry didn't go to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring. Is that simply asking for trouble, looking for the home team fans to vent?
He and his teammates hugged and celebrated in front of the goal, and then jogged back to the half court together.
Aldridge had been sitting there, and when he saw the goal, he smiled and chatted with Klinsmann next to him, praising Henry's increasingly improved shooting skills.
Although this Galatasaray team has outstanding players such as Hakan Suker and Emre, the overall strength gap between them and Millwall is still quite obvious.
On the football field, it is common for strong teams to be beaten. This is not necessarily a reflection of strength, but mostly the tactical intention of the head coach.
The weak team attacks hard, attacks hard, attacks hard, attacks until they are crazy, attacks until they are numb, attacks until they lose their mind and still has no harvest, then the strong team's counterattack can easily defeat the opponent.
In the competition between the top teams, it is almost difficult to create opportunities in positional battles, and counterattack is the first weapon to conquer the city. Therefore, later on, you can often see the confrontation between the strong ones, and the game is boring and lacks highlights.
, that is, each other is afraid of the other's counterattack, and neither is willing to give the other side space to counterattack, nor can it lead to an absolute disadvantage situation of using less to attack more.
After Galatasaray lost the ball, they began to slow down. If they wanted to have a higher success rate, they could pass and cut and move intensively in the middle. Ordinary passing was no problem, but the threatening ball that penetrated forward would be beaten by Milvo at the first opportunity.
I'll kill you.
Millwall's players were not in ideal condition today, perhaps because of the away game. In short, there were some undue mistakes in several coordinations in the first half.
"At the end of the first half, Millwall walked into the locker room with a one-goal lead. Trim needs to think carefully about the strategy. If Galatasaray loses this game, it will be 1 point from two games.
Then the prospects for qualifying will be very bleak.”
Aldridge made tactical adjustments in response to the errors in offensive coordination in the first half.
Sometimes a player can perform at 95 points today and 85 points tomorrow. In the short period of time in the first and second half of the game, the head coach cannot make a qualitative change in the players' performance with just a few words. Aldrich also
He never expects players to be shit in the first half and become gods in the second half. That's unrealistic. The only choice he can make is to adjust tactics based on the player's performance, or to make substitutions.
It is normal for players to make mistakes. As long as the individual's performance is not abnormal for a long time or is so bad that it is impossible to watch, Aldridge will not use substitutions, which are similar to capital punishment.
He asked the team to slow down the pace, reduce "risky" options, and pursue success rates. It doesn't matter if the pace is slower. The team is ahead and there is no reason to be anxious.
Returning to the sideline in the second half, Aldrich sat down again despite the boos from the nearby stands.
After the game started, he watched for 5 minutes, and then turned to Trim in surprise.
The opponent is like a general commanding an army, frequently using body movements to direct the players to fight on the sidelines.
Galatasaray changed their formation in the second half.
From 4312 to 4132.
Looking at the player positions on the field intuitively, Galatasaray has changed from a three-back midfielder to a single back-midfielder.
The style of play has not changed, it is still concentrated in the middle.
Aldrich thought of Trim, the Turkish emperor's cruelty, and immediately felt relieved.
Terim led the Turkish national team in 2008 and almost reached the semi-finals with a decisive victory. In the end, the same story almost happened against Germany, but it was a pity that Lahm defeated it.
Aldrich stood up and walked to the sideline with his hands in his pockets without saying a word.
When he stands here, the players know that he has a new perspective on the game. What the players need to do does not need to be explained in words. They can understand it.
Galatasaray changed their formation in the second half. If they had scored and equalized the score, the game would have been completely different.
Soon enough, Aldrich's boys did not disappoint.
With their solid defense, they did not give Galatasaray a chance. On the contrary, in the 64th minute of the game, Millwall relied on a quick counterattack and Henry scored another victory.
Pirlo's accurate long pass found Larsson. Larsson drove the ball straight in. When he passed the opponent's last defender, he chose a cross pass against the goalkeeper. Henry outflanked the ball and scored twice.
Galatasaray faced the second half in a desperate manner, but the emptiness in the backcourt made the defense more vulnerable when being counterattacked.
Aldrich saw the second goal scored, turned around and sat back.
"Millwall is leading by two goals. It seems that winning the game will not be a big problem. How will Galatasaray face the remaining 25 minutes?"
Trailing by two goals, Galatasaray had no other choice but to attack wildly.
Ronaldinho's performance today was not ideal. Apart from the ball he protected and turned around when scoring in the first half, he had no more highlights. Aldridge replaced him with Glenchard just before the 70th minute.
, maybe this hellish home court really had a negative impact on Ronaldinho's performance.
Ronaldinho sat quietly after being replaced. Villas-Boas came to him and asked in a low voice about his situation. Ronaldinho frowned and began to complain.
When he moves on the wing, he is always concerned about whether fans will attack him on the sidelines.
It's one thing to follow Nedved's advice, but it's another thing to really not be affected. The rain of coins at the beginning left a shadow on his performance later in the game. That flash in the first half was also his run.
When you reach the middle, you don't have to worry about being attacked by fans so you can perform at a normal level.
After hearing this, Villas-Boas didn't know how to deal with Ronaldinho, so he gave up after thinking about it. After all, he doesn't come to "Hell" to play games every week.
Although the players tried not to be disturbed by the atmosphere in the stands, Millwall did not perform at its best today. Perhaps it was Aldridge who met an "emperor" who was not afraid of playing crazy attacks against him, which allowed Millwall to
On the contrary, even though I was in a bad state, I seemed to win the game easily.
From the 70th minute onwards, Millwall entered into a completely defensive counterattack rhythm.
There are only three people left in the frontcourt, Henry, Larsson and Grenchar.
Galatasaray's full-line attack failed to succeed, and they turned around. Millwall's counterattack came to the city and destroyed Galatasaray's defense line through personal ability.
In the 79th minute of the game, Henry completed a hat trick.
Three minutes later, Glenchard added the icing on the cake and scored a goal.
Galatasaray got one back from a set piece 2 minutes later.
After another 4 minutes, Larsson went to the meeting alone and was knocked down by the goalkeeper. The referee sent the goalkeeper off with a red card and gave Millwall a penalty kick. Larsson scored in one stroke.
5:1, Millwall went to Türkiye and achieved a great victory.
After the game, Aldridge stood up and walked over to shake hands with Trim. Without saying a word, he shook hands and left.
Home field of hell?
It doesn't mean that you are powerful by showing your teeth and claws.
Feel sorry.
I have world-class strength to subjugate demons.
Even if this is really hell, then I am also the king of hell!
